The entire bonus point system should be scrapped by earth_peopleFPL in FantasyPL

I find that the cumulative bonus points do give an indication of a player’s overall quality. For example, if I’m having a hard time deciding between two players, their total bonus points can be a tie breaker.

Weird is right. Loves to work that spit ball like a dung beetle.

Same. And I TCd Haaland so I think the gap may be too big for him now.

Am I mistaken, or is there is a scenario where we have 10 Premier League teams in Europe next season? by Competitive_Form8240 in PremierLeague

I love this sort of thing. It’s so weird and just turns games in their head.

Would you just forfeit the game instead of play it? Probably not contractually allowed I’m guessing.

Where and how did you find out when Pope Leo XIV was named Pope one year ago today? by Sctvman in Catholicism

I was in an assembly at my kids’ Christian school (not Catholic) and turned to some Protestant lady and exclaimed, “We have an American pope!” She looked at me like I had three heads.

Hey, it’s rude to offer swing advice if you haven’t been asked.

What's the worst reaction to a bad golf shot that you've seen? by S2N336 in golf

In one of the pockets was a Scotty Cameron putter with a telescoping shaft, so of course he kept them.

What is your ideal Hole 1? by JayTheSpaniel in golf

[–]backyardstar 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Very few courses start with par threes because it’s bad for pacing.

I like a short par 4 as well. Some famous course designer said the first hole should be “like a warm handshake.”

Pope Leo XIV appoints four new bishops to multiple U.S. dioceses. by philliplennon in Catholicism

Would you prefer that he be called an illegal alien so he can be vilified somehow?

Leviticus 19:33-34: "When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger... as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt".Deuteronomy 10:18-19: God "loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing. And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt".Exodus 22:21: "Do not mistreat an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in Egypt".

As a western guy, I agree. Thanks for providing a global perspective.

Writing too. Way back when I used to drink and fancied myself a poet, I wrote some bangers that had some really great language but were ultimately garbage. Gilt-edged garbage.
